Swedish/Norwegian trio the Thing—who've covered the Cramps, the Sonics, and PJ Harvey and collaborated with Jim O’Rourke, Peter Brötzmann, and Merzbow—play free jazz you can stage dive to. Their sixth album, Boot!, is among the group’s finest efforts at pairing bludgeoning physicality with heady free jazz chops.
With Boot! the Thing celebrate the launch of their own label, dedicated not only to this and future releases, but also to reissuing their catalog and keeping it in print.
